Answer:

<em>vf=79.38 m/s</em>

<em>y= 321.5 m</em>

Explanation:

<u>Free Fall Motion</u>

A free-falling object falls under the exclusive influence of gravity. Free-falling objects do not encounter air resistance.

If an object is dropped from rest in a free-falling motion, it falls with a constant acceleration called the acceleration of gravity, which value is g = 9.8 m/s^2.

The final velocity of a free-falling object after a time t is given by:

vf=g.t

The distance traveled by a dropped object is:

\displaystyle y=\frac{gt^2}{2}

1.

The penny will fall for t=8.1 s before hitting the ground, thus the height from which it was dropped is:

\displaystyle y=\frac{9.8\cdot 8.1^2}{2}

y= 321.5 m

2.

The final velocity is:

vf=9.8\cdot 8.1

vf=79.38 m/s

VELOCITY, SPEED, DISTANCE ETC..
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Speed = distance / time

Velocity  = displacement / time

So ,

Speed = 50 km / 0.5 hr = 100 km/h

Velocity  = 40 km / 0.5hr = 80 km/h
